SYNOPSIS
240-Robert revolved around the adventures of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Emergency Service Detail (E.S.D.)
Most of the shows centered around the three main characters: Trap, the leader of the group; Thib, the hunky assistant (played by former UCLA star quarterback Mark Harmon) and Morgan, the pretty helicopter pilot.
Using motorcycles, boats, choppers and a customized four-wheel-drive wagon, they managed to rescue helpless victims from various dangerous and uncomfortable situations.
After its first run in the fall of 1979, 240-Robert returned for a brief period in early 1981 with a new female pilot named Sandy and a new assistant named Brett.
